Infinite Now, with Sean Crowley

An Astronomically Quantum World

Chapter 1: We go day-tripping through the universe, big and small, and start to consider how it all might stack up against infinity. So don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.

Know Your Metaphysical Framework

Welcome to Unfoldings, a subseries designed to support our regular monthly 'Infinite Now' chapters. A chance to enable a deeper reflection upon some of the more nuanced philosophical and scientific concepts and also provides a place for our community to offer their thoughts, insights, and feedback. 
This week, we discuss metaphysical frameworks. Whether we know it or not, we all have one. So what is it? Let's see if we can identify yours.
